Good morning!
I'm still seeking volunteers to cover our VR shifts during the Reference Community Forum: Thursday April 16th from 9-11 am. If you're not planning to attend the Forum, I would appreciate it if you could cover one or both shifts. Thanks!

Subject: Students in BIOL 1340 needing assignment help
Hi all,
Lately I have been seeing students needing assignment assistance in BIOL 1340 - The State of the Earth's Environment. Attached is a handout that each student in that class can download from their D2L that I put together to get them started on their searching. This assignment is due on April 10 but I will be away from March 19-27, returning on March 30 so there may be a few students who would be coming in during this time.
The assignment guidelines are the following:
Students are asked to write a short synopsis (5-8 pages) of the current literature (from scientific Journals and other established sources) about one of the following topics.
* Global warming: the action taken
* International action on the ozone: what steps are being taken and what results are being observed
* Water shortages in different areas of the world. Political and social consequences
* The earth's human carrying capacity: what is a viable number?
* Population programs in developing nations. Success and failures
* Genetically modified foods: possible impacts on humans or ecosystems
Students need to restrict their searches to the following:
* Publication range from 2010-2015
* Minimum of 5 primary, peer-reviewed sources
Students can use any reference style of their choice, I would recommend APA.
Hopefully this helps when answering these reference questions at the Services Desk.
Vickie
Hi all,
We need two shifts covered on Thursday April 16th, 9-10 and 10-11, during the Reference Community Forum. If you're not planning on attending the Forum, please let me know if you could cover one or both of those shifts. Interesting trades considered!
